It is like a {{Card|Bank}} that is {{Cost|2}} cheaper but only counts unique treasures, but it tends to be more powerful and easier to use than Bank in part because of its lower price point. On its own, it functions as an exorbitant {{Card|Copper}}; played after a single treasure type, it becomes an expensive {{Card|Silver}}, and after three, it becomes a cheap {{Card|Gold}}. In some decks, its function as a cheap gold can alone make it a key component of a winning strategy. But it truly shines most if it can be, at least some of the time, played after three or more other treasures, thus becoming both stronger and cheaper than a Gold. This is possible even with the basic treasures, as it can be worth {{Cost|4}}. |
In an engine able to draw the whole deck, Pendant can be guaranteed to be worth {{Cost|4}} by including only one copper, silver, and gold in the deck, thus providing more efficient buying power than golds, and cheaper. [[Terminal draw]] also benefits Pendant, however, even in a [[big money]] strategy. The Terminal draw Big Money strategy is strengthened by the presence of Pendant as it provides a powerful card at the {{Cost|5}} price point, often a weak point of those strategies. | In an engine able to draw the whole deck, Pendant can be guaranteed to be worth {{Cost|4}} by including only one copper, silver, and gold in the deck, thus providing more efficient buying power than golds, and cheaper.
